MySQL Server Error #

The most common reason for the “MySQL server has gone away” error is that the query timed out and the connection was closed. This typically occurs when a MySQL query takes too long to execute (i.e., a slow query).

To address this issue, we recommend running a MySQL check and optimization through phpMyAdmin. Here’s how you can do this with StackCP:

Steps to Optimize Your Database in StackCP #

1. Log In to phpMyAdmin:
   • Sign in to the database you wish to optimise via phpMyAdmin in your StackCP control panel.
2. Select Your Database:
   • Choose the database from the left-hand side menu.
3. Select Tables to Optimize:
   • Select the tables you wish to optimise or simply select Check All.
4. Run the Optimization:
   • From the With selected: dropdown menu, select Optimize table.

Running the ‘OPTIMIZE TABLE’ query reorganizes the physical storage of table data and associated index data, reducing storage space and improving I/O efficiency when accessing the table. This can help mitigate the “MySQL server has gone away” error by making your database queries faster and more efficient.
